Great to have the discussions going. it's about the only time I get emails that are not trying to sell me something!!! I will make an attempt at 40 meters with a Hustler mobile antenna, or my totally

Hey! Jay, Hope to see you in there boss. I like this local time business. Yea! I know...I like anything that's different :) Hope to see DE and VT out there as I need em for the 070 lower 48

Brilliant! Ernie WM2U

Keep the sprint going, I will not be on but do not change it just for me. I think that the idea of 2000 local is a good idea and fair for everyone. If and when the family gets in the way of the next

Hey Peter, Your setup ain't wimpy, I saw you here in WA State the other night on 20, but you were in QSO with someone else and I had to leave before I got a chance to holler at you. You had a pretty

I will give it a shot. So, count me as a "Yup." Now, since being attic-bound, I really don't have a decent 40m antenna, I will be working my usual QRP with my MP1 out in the backyard. Pretty

I'd like to take a little poll. How many are planning on playing in the 40 meter sprint. All you need to do is reply to this email and type yes or no, or add any comments you would like. I'm just

I'll try to be around, but it will be late. We'll be returning from a day at HersheyPark, and I probably won't be able to get on the radio until local midnight (0400z). So if anyone is still on at

Hey Everyone, There was talk on the reflector about generating more PSK activity on the 40 meter band, and someone mentioned a short, fun, sprint type contest. It sounded like a good idea to me ,

No need to put it on the back burner just for me, Jay. It was a good idea to have the contest to gain interest in 40 meter PSK, but I don't think anyone expected it to happen at the drop of a hat.

We just thought it would be nice of you to send the contest winner to Jamaica for a week to rest up from the pressures of the contest. The winner can take his wife or girlfriend, or both. :) Oh,

Have fun at Cedar Point, Chris. We used to live in Lima and it's a fun place to visit (Cedar Point, not Lima) Hi Hi. I agree with you on the short notice for the contest. I'm a little confused as

Before you guys dump on Bernie, everyone should know that it was my idea to base the start times on local time, not Bernie's. We HFer's are so used to using GMT for everything, that it seems almost

I will be there, altho late as I have to work...Btw, we aren't asking you to log your entries by local time, just to use your local time as the start time for the sprint...Jay N3DQU
